I have not had this exact problem but do have on working on a dell laptop
with RH62. First thing that comes to mind for me is the pcmcia services.
are they started? Can you see the modem? My conf.modules looks like
this:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias eth0 tulip
alias char-major-108 off
In /var/log/messages I have:

Hope this helps let me know. One thing I have noticed is that the order
of execution of the init.d scripts tries to bring up the ethernet before
the pcmcia services are started but since it makes it later I have but
dinked with the symlinks in the rc*.d directories to try and correct it.
